Ingredients

  • 4 SERVINGS
  • 1 1/2 lb medium asparagus (24), trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 8 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 10 minutes

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill.

Divide asparagus into 4 bunches. Align each bunch in a flat row and thread 2 skewers crosswise through each bunch.

Brush asparagus with oil and season with kosher salt.

Grill asparagus on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until tender, 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

COOKS NOTES:

The parallel skewers make it easier to turn the asparagus.

If outdoor grilling isn't an option, asparagus may also be grilled in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
